FAQs
What type of leather is used in these shoes?
The shoes are made with premium full-grain Better Leather, sourced from sustainable tanneries rated for their water, energy, and waste management practices.
How do I adjust the fit using the lacing system?
The 360° functional rawhide lacing system allows you to pull the laces to tighten the shoe around your foot for a secure, customized fit.
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
While the rubber outsole provides good grip, the shoes are primarily made of leather and are not waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider using a waterproofing spray and exercising caution.
What is the purpose of the siped outsole?
Siping refers to the small slits in the rubber outsole. These increase the surface area and create more biting edges, significantly improving grip on wet surfaces.
How long does it typically take to break in these shoes?
The break-in period varies per individual, but generally, wear them for short periods initially. Most users find they become comfortable within a week or two of regular wear.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the rawhide laces can be replaced if they become worn. Ensure you use laces of a similar length and material for proper function.
What is the benefit of the leather lining?
The leather lining enhances comfort by providing a soft feel against the skin and helps with breathability, keeping your feet more comfortable throughout the day.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure the shoes are not stored in excessively dry conditions.
Laces become difficult to adjust
Check the eyelets for debris. If the rawhide laces are stiff, they can be softened slightly with a leather conditioner.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
While designed for grip, ensure the siped rubber outsole is clean. For exceptionally slick surfaces, exercise caution. Regular wear helps break in the tread.
Discomfort during initial wear
This is normal for handsewn leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as the leather breaks in and conforms to your foot shape.
